Thank you for what you do. Your course is cool because of the back tracks. Love it. I get to jam along with you. So cool!

"Jesus just left Chicago" what a cool song. Gets me everytime I hear it. In fact all of the Tres Hombres" album is legendary.

Master of Sparks is about how for kicks they used to get into a cage in the back of a pickup truck and then have someone push the cage off when the truck was flying down the road at a high speed

Billy does have some tapping up his sleeve. Every now and then when he hits a bend around 5-9 he’ll tap the 12 mid bend.

Hot damn, that’s spicy. Wasn’t familiar with this one. My Tele is eyeballing me now.

Gibbons is the master of laid-back grooves. His live playing is incredibly economical but gut- bucket heavy on groove.

Well said. I thought the same thing after seeing ZZ for the first time in ‘22.

Billy Gibbon’s use of pinch harmonics always amazed me. A video analyzing his technique would be great.

Never realized how cool that riff is (as well as a learning tool), thanks!

Love this series!

I’ve loved this riff since I first heard it and always wondered why nobody every mentioned it 👌 it’s my go to fuzz pedal demo riff 😂

I always loved his open string playin an the addition of fretted notes. It's a throwback to the old blues players who did peddling often.

Thanks Robert!!

That's the best finish to any of your video's, so far!! Bet you cannot beat it!

Great session 😊

Awesome lick ! Love this …. I also love the hybrid picking technique

This is so amazing - thanks so much for sharing this 😊👍👏👏👏

Thank you Robert.

I saw ZZ Top on 8.6.22, just a few days ago, in Atlanta, GA. It was Electric! Literally! Lightning filled the sky, and it got so bad that Kenny Wayne Shepard had to cut his act short. Eventually ZZ Top came on, but not before an hour intermission waiting for the storm to pass. It never passed, but they played anyway! Southerners don't fear a little lightning!

ol billy bad ass... love the tones....and those light strings... like how man

Billy F Gibbons is the master. Robert thank you. A couple of weeks ago I enrolled in your online classes. They are amazing. I have gotten so much out of them for such a small price.

Billy Gibbons is the groove/hook master! It’s crazy when you think about how many fantastic songs ZZ Top have put out over the years! Thanks for breaking this one down man!✌🏻

short and sweet. thanks a bunch, this trick is awesome.

Great technique, I am gong to use it a lot ! Thanks 👍🏻

After playing nothing but acoustic for forty years I decide to get an electric. Found a cheap strat on Craigslist. $175. Didn’t know or care much what it was beyond being electric. It’s a one pickup one knob Made in Japan Contemporary Strat. “85-‘86. Since then have watched players talk about the one pickup thing. Phil X and others. Gotta say, it’s Sweet. I can’t handle too many knobs and switches anyway. Tone is fantastic. Put a Buzztone pickup in it after watching Sped Spedding on KZread talking about them. Great lesson! Thanks🤙🤙

Just checked out the new setup for tabs, looks cool man! Makes sense to combine it with your other courses! A lot quicker too!

nice stuff. Still have to go with Beer Drinkers, Hell Raisers as a favorite.

reminded me of junior kimbrough's sound

Tube Snake Boogie is one of the most killer guitar riffs ever. It seems like So many notes coming out all at once.

"Sharp Dressed Man" I saw ZZ Top 3 nights in a row a good while back. The opening act was J oan Jett and the 2nd band was Loverboy. What a lineup to get through to get the tha Top....All 3 bands were good though, don't get me wrong..

Hey a big hello from North Western Ontario Canada, just found your channel, great content, great lesson, I most definitely subscribed.

Stapleton uses a similar technique on "Devil always made me think twice" which is one of his more bluesy songs rather than country. Check it out if you haven't heard it, might make for a good video.

Reminds me of the Norm Greenbaum sound, a little "Spirit in the Sky". Thanks for posting. Billy is smooth like butta!

This is a Robert Johnson technique. I like it

She's Got Legs was the first song I heard from them, tends to be my favorite from them because of the memories and it's video.

Respect

I read Jimi Hendrix was a fan of Billy Gibbons? His tone is mad!

Another great video. The stuff you do is so varied. From Eddie Van Halen to Billy Gibbons in a week. Always learn something I can use. Have you thought about talking about how you get the tones you use. Doesn’t matter if it’s amps and pedals or modelling, the principles are the same. I’d not have thought to use fuzz and a tele. I’m guessing it’s quite clean and a little fuzz.

That guitar sounds great. Hey man hit us with some Vernon Reid sometime cult of personality is a wicked fun song to listen to.

Robert Baker RULES!

It still throws me every once in a while that both Billy Gibbons and Jimmy Sullivan are both "The Rev." Lol
